Great Prices Here

I have spoken before about the recession, and how we can try to cope with it, and now articles I have read are telling me that that is so.

This Newsweek article, The Recession is Over, reaches this conclusion based on the fact that the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, holds that a mixture of targeted investments, tax credits, subsidies, reforms, and direct purchases can preserve or create jobs in the short term, improve America’s economic competitiveness in the long term, and catalyze private-sector investment.

I think that our sense of smell can be very evocative, and can take us back to a time and place in the past or can recall minding a particular happening or person unerringly. Perfumes can therefore be a very important part of the whole process of dressing; more particularly dressing up! I for one don’t feel ready to go out for the evening until I not only look but also smell good! There are certain fragrances that I absolutely love and thought to look for the best prices available on the net.

I have loved this fragrance Paris since I was a little girl and it epitomizes romance for me. Here, I found each of the package sizes on a discount. The 1.7 oz eau de toilette spray is on a 32% discount, available at $32.80 down from $57.

I have recently been having some trouble with my computer speakers though they have served me diligently for the past several years, giving me clear and big (when required) sound. So in my quest for new computer speakers I looked around the internet for computer speakers, home theater speakers etc to see what I could come up with. I also need computer speakers to amplify my iPod and play my satellite radio on.

I had a few requirements. They should have clear, big sound, if possible several pieces to give that real surround effect and they should look good! These are the ones that struck my fancy:

Now I tend to trust instinctively when ‘It’s a Sony!’ and that these Sony SS-F6000 Floor Standing Speaker - SSF6000 I thought were really sleek and attractive. I looked at a few sites for these and they seemed to be the cheapest at buy.com. AT $129 they fall within my budget. However I am going to look for them in a store because the shipping cost here is rather high. I am loath to fork out 55 dollars for shipping.

Now these I found to be a little freaky looking, but find myself strangely drawn to this Soundsticks II Multimedia System for $111.15. For sheer novelty value and the fact that they are available for free shipping over at ebay, I am tempted by these.

This set of Acoustic Research AW-877 900-MHz Indoor Wireless Speakers – Pair has some really great features: they are the cordless variety with a 250 foot range  and Battery or AC Power. I rather fancy the idea of carrying the speakers with me from room to room, wherever I happen to be. The list price of the speakers is $199 but they are available for a hefty $70 discount so I am very tempted by these for $129.99.

If any of you got some good deals with computer or home theater system speakers, do let me know. I would value your input.
